RHODE ISLAND LEGISLATURE.
A Fight over a Bill Providing for the Call
OF Constitutional Conventions.

NEWPORT, X. L., June 8.
In the Senate, this afternoon, there was a
sharp conflict to an amendment to the consti-
tuition, providing that at the general election
iE April, 1888, and each tenth year there
after, the general assembly may submit to
electors and the State the question, "Shall
there be constitutional convention" said
amendment to be submitted to the people at
the November election this year. The dem
ocrats opposed it strongly in view of the
other bill before the House for the legislat-
ure to call constitutional conventions, while
the republicans advocated it as the only
proper and constitutional method of securing
revision of the constitution. The bill was
finally passed on strict party ballot, 10 to
i6.
In the House the fight of the forenoon was
over the bill for a call of a constitutional
convention, without submitting the question
to the people, was continued and finally
passed on party lines, 80 to %. The fate of
these respective bodies will be interesting as
each is likely so far as now seems probable
to fail to secure concurrence, the House be-
ing democratic and the Senate republican.

IRISH EvICTIONs.
me Ienants Resist Eviction and are
Roughly Handled by the PoIice-The
Police Have Hot Work Ahead of them.

Dublin, June 8.
when the sherif's force arrived at the
mouse OF tenant Liddy and ordered the fami
ly to leave, the daughter of Liddy threw an
iron hoop at the bsiliff who tried to enter the
door. The hoop missed the bailliff but
struck the police inspector. The girl was
arrested
brother of the girl was also arrested for
melting the crowd to violence.
Another daughter of the tenant who de-
nounced the treatment her family received,
was struck by policeman and felled to the
ground. This maddened the crowd and they
advanced TO attack the officers.
Michael Davi,t, who was present. pleaded
win the people not TO use violence, however,
and barely managed to avert a collision.
After the Liddy family were evicted the
police made an attack on the house of one
McNamana, which was strongly fortified.
Cfowoars were used and a hole was made in
the wall. McNamana's wife and children in
the house cried piteously until Davitt shout
eo words OF comfort to them. McNamans
was arrested for peltiug the bailiffs with
stones.
The oailiffs smashed the furniture of the
mouse out OF pure malice. The force after
leaving the house proceeded to that occupied
oy tenant named Hussey for the purI ose of
eVict'ng them. II is thought the police have
extremely hot work before them.
When the evicting force reached Hussey's
house they were received with showers of
water, stones and bottles, and a swarm of
bees was let loose upon them. The tenants
only desisted from pel,ing the baillffs when
the troops threatened to fire. The bailliffs
demolished the wall and entered the house,
but were repulsed bleeding. The eviction
was only effected after a struggle of two
hours and a half. The male defender. of the
house were arrested.
meeting Of the tenants was afterwards
held. Michael Davitt repeated the advice he
gave them yesterday, to resist eviction by
every means and defed the government to
arrest him.

HAvERHrLL, Mass, June 2.
II now looks as though long labor con-

such price list would, ny the terms OF the

arranging mutually satisfactory price van
ishes. II is feared a number Of manufactur
ers will leave the city. Flattering offers
have been made TO firms here by committees
from Great Falls, n. H., and elsewhere.
Coming troubles will probably influence
them TO accept more free shops in the near
future is expected. The most disastrous re-
suit feared is the drawing away OF trade.

Lord Randolph Churchill was enthusiast

said he believed the source of revenue cSuld
be so managed as to satisfy the trade without
driving into despair for traders. The true
remedy for trade depression, he said, was
economv in the public expenditures. The
workers must not allow Ireland to absorb all
the attention, but must bring pressure upon
the government to prevent extravagauce iu
spending million pounds on the new war
and admiralty building, and seventeen thou
sand pounds for decorating Westminster
